Nicki Minaj stole the spotlight at the 2011 American Music Awards, held in Los Angeles’ Nokia Theatre on Sunday night (November 20). After opening up the show alongside David Guetta with performances of “Turn Me On” and “Super Bass,” the Young Money rapper went on to take home two awards. She picked up trophies for Best Rap/Hip-Hop artist and Best Rap/Hip-Hop album of the year for Pink Friday. During her emotional acceptance speeches, she even managed to thank both Taylor Swift and Lil Wayne.

Who knew you could get stopped by authorities for carrying too much cash. California rapper Snoop Dogg was stopped by immigration officials in Norway for carrying too much money. He was due to make an appearance at an Adidas store before performing at Oslo’s Spektrum Arena. “They talkn bout takn my $!!” the Doggfather tweeted. “That aint rite!! Norway standup 4 the biggdogg!! they makn me late 4 this adidas instore autograph signin!” He was eventually released and went about his business. “Shout out 2 all 600 fans in Oslo who waited all day at the Adidas instore signin,” he tweeted. “Good lookn out.”

David E. Talbert, Award-Winning Playwright, is bringing his latest stage play, “What My Husband Doesn’t Know,” to Houston. David who is known for his inspirational dramas is calling “What My Husband Doesn’t Know” his best play yet and actor Clifton Davis couldn’t agree more saying, “I believe he [David] has truly hit his stride on this, his 13th play. Twenty years in the business and David has written what I think is one of his best pieces.”
